ZX81 - My first computer
by Stephen Gillespiepublished onThis was my first home computer. It was not the first computer I had used as our school had a Z80 Research Machine which we had some (very limited) access to. Other than that it the only computers I had access to was in the high street shops like Dixons, Greens (Debenhams) etc.
It was an amazing piece of technology for the price in 1981 and 1K of RAM was plenty to get started learning the basics of coding in Basic and Z80 machine code. This is my machine below which is still working today.
